Workflow for multiplex microsatellite panel development and sample preparation for robust amplicon sequencing of low-template and degraded DNA: validation for non-invasive genotyping in three large carnivore species

The paper develops a workflow for designing and validating STR multiplex panels for HTS-based genotyping of low-template and degraded DNA, demonstrating high performance in three large carnivore species.

Human footprint and forest disturbance reduce space use of brown bears across Europe.

This study examines how human impact and forest disturbances affect brown bear space use across Europe using GPS tracking data.

From single species to communities: microsatellite amplicon sequencing to monitor felids using Feliplex

The paper introduces Feliplex, a multiplex microsatellite panel for simultaneous genotyping of multiple felid species, demonstrating its effectiveness in population monitoring and genetic structure analysis.
